Funny thing. I thought that when you owned something, and permitted someone else to use that something, they had to follow your rules or lose the use thereof.

I guess that the disgruntled anti-Freepers believe they have the right to say whatever they want, then hide behind the 5th Amendment. Well, I have news for them. "Freedom of speech" means that and only that. You are not free to hijack someone else's property and use it to your own ends.

If you want to whine and moan "unfair", go start your own website. Or go to LibertyPost and wallow in your self-pity. Not many others to cry with, huh? And here we are at FR in our thousands. You must stay up late at night fuming and worrying that Freepers might be HAVING A GOOD TIME! Oh, the horror!

I am the founder of my own Dune site. Immediately after 9-11, there were some people wanting to get into some heavy political discussions about what took place (yep, liberals). We had already posted rules stating that there were to be no real-life political or religious discussions on the site. There are other sites for that and we wanted to keep the Dune site from turning into a shouting match. After 9-11, I posted a simple graphic, showing support for the people of NYC, reading "God Bless America." Well, one member claimed that we should take that graphic down because some of her friends, who aren't even members of my Dune site, were offended at college by all the patriotism shown after 9-11. She came on, accusing us of racism, etc. She was promptly banned. A couple more of her ilk began going to other sites claiming that we were practicing censorship. They were banned also. So, you see, those of the liberal persuasion feel that they are doing something special and wonderful by flouting the rules of a site.
